Chuck E.'s House, or the Rocker Stage, was a stage format found at Showbiz Pizza and Chuck E. Cheese's locations from February 1st, 1987 to June 12, 2022.

It was the first stage to give Chuck E., Helen, and Jasper legs, while Munch and Pasqually remained half-bodied. This was the first new CEC stage created after the merger. The Rocker Stage would debut at the Arlington, Texas location on February 1st, 1987, and would go extinct at the Rockford, Illinois location on June 12, 2022.

History

In 1986, various concepts were created in order to introduce full bodied Cyberamics to CEC locations. The original idea was a general store with Chuck E. standing, Jasper sitting in a rocking chair, Helen in a swing, and Munch and Pasqually sitting in barrels.[1] Eventually the stage became the front porch of a house, with Chuck E, Helen and Jasper sitting outside and Munch and Pasqually inside the house behind windows. The house was designed by Corman and Associates and was available in two sizes, 10' 6" (which would cost $9,600) and 12' (which would cost $10,400). Bottom halves for Chuck E., Helen and Jasper would be provided by Creative Presentations and cost a total of $2,500. Flowers and bushes were provided by Design Plants, Inc and cost $800. The initial prototype was built by Gene Patrick Productions, Inc and installed at Arlington, Texas on February 1st, 1987.[2] A showroom remodel called "Chuck E.'s Town Square" was designed to go alongside the stage, theming the entire showroom to a hometown square. It is unknown if this remodel was ever installed. In 1989, Chuck E.'s House Facade was created in order to cheapen the installation by allowing it to fit over an existing stage.[3] These would be the main stages installed until the Road Stage was introduced in 1990.
